1900 Census
NJ Essex ED185, West Orange, Ward 3, Sheet 8B https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DYZ9-1QH
My screenshots seem to have stacked in order to demonstrate my steps.
I tried to attach my guy Oscar Daum from line 64. He didn't show up when I searched Historical Records, so I had used the waypoints from Ancestry and browsed to the image at FamilySearch.
When I control-click the notepad icon to see the index entry in a new tab, only his details appear and not his wife Lisette's.
When I control-click "Attach" to go to a new tab, his name appears on the left as both himself and his wife. The popup Possible Matches/History List recognizes him as my target from the tree (ID GVZG-C4X), so I click "Select."
After clicking "Select" the popup disappears, but nothing else happens, as if the system froze. None of Oscar's details from the tree populate on the right
Oscar is causing trouble on the 1950 census too. I reported him separately for that.

@auntsue.genealogyfoundry I will report the duplicate of Oscar A Daum and that his wife Lizzette is missing from the index.
I think the source linker is choking on the attachment because the corrupted index has duplicated Oscar. Here is a way you can work around that while we wait for things to get fixed:
On the image page (your first screenshot), to the left of Oscar, click the far-left icon (looks like a sheet of paper). That opens his record details. Towards the top of that page, on the right, you should see an Attach to Family Tree button. Try that one for attaching the census to him.
If you want to attach it to Lizzette, I think you'll need to use the census image as your source. You can add it to your source box and attach from there. Or copy the URL of the image page and use that to create a source. Here are some Help Center articles that give details:
